I’ll get to the dragon news but in already filming news have I been sleeping on the fact we’re getting a new adaptation of The Stand? It’s only my favorite King book and I actually really liked then 90’s miniseries.
How in the hell did I miss that?

Let’s Call it A Doomsday

For a good half of this book it employs what may be one of my top three most frustrating tropes. Not telling a main character information that they need for no good reason whatsoever.
I’d call it the Admiral Holdo trope but there’s not even a plot reason she shouldn’t know the information!

Why is sex in romance books, at least between our star-crossed lovers, always so damned perfect?
Okay maybe that’s not the right word nor can you say that about all books- I certainly haven’t read them all but just once I want to read one where the main couple finally get together have sex and then think hm, we’ll that just wasn’t good at all.
I suppose that would be anti-climatic.
It Chapter 2
Directed By: Andy Muschietti
Stephen King is well-known for not always sticking the landings as they say. It is probably a big part of that. The film makes fun of that as well teasing writer Bill that no one likes his endings.
Overall I have to say I enjoyed the film. Lots of positives. But I don’t think they stuck the landing and I don’t think that can be put on King either.

Summer is over and it’s time for my 2nd favorite time of year…
Back to school!
Okay, I haven’t had to go back to school in years but I still love when the school supplies come out and it means Fall is definitely in the air so I thought I’d do some of my favorite teachers in books, films and shows.
It
By: Stephen King
As a kid I was always a fan of Stephen King’s older stuff. The Stand, Tommyknockers, Carrie, Christine but for some reason I got it in my head that I would never, ever touch It. Yet the most recent adaptation and a rekindled interest in horror made me finally pickup the book tale of Pennywise.
And in the end I found it odd as promised and more sad and melancholy than actually scary.
One of the best things about a new Taylor Swift album is obviously new lyrics to enjoy. I love her writing style. She’s really the only singer where I absolutely pay as much attention to the book with the printed lyrics included in the album.
Lover came out last week and while even her stuff that I’m iffy on tends to grow on me this is probably my most immediate favorite since Red.
